We pause under the Faith-marker of Fig Tree’s blossoms. We place all faith in you. In your sacred prayer space, we confess our struggles to bear good fruit. You examine our hearts and replace our dead wood with new shoots.

We enter your sacred prayer space clothed in the armour of your light. By your grace, we walk your Ancient Path with faith that you are with us; your teachings guide our steps. You reveal to us the power of our words when we walk with you–power to destroy or to restore.

We once made decisions for our own sake. But you have taught us your new way. We put off our old ways to follow you. Give us your spirit of truth, honesty, and kindness. Give us your spirit of forgiveness, so we will not store-up bitterness or anger towards others. We will follow your ways and journey together in a good way.

Our eyes are on you, watching you, and wanting to be like you. Thank you, Divine Family, for your extravagant love. Thank you for showing us how to love, which leads to health, life, and healing.

We are battered by the wind and waves. We call out to you, “LORD, save us!” Fear and weariness cloud our eyes, and we do not see you. But you are here. You draw near to us, calming our fears and the storms within and around us.

Gracious loving Yahweh, thank you for this time. You speak loving kindness to us. Thank you for giving us your pure, peaceful, and gentle wisdom. We let go of bitterness and selfish ambition and choose peace.
